The Snapshots in Time Collection
Gallery: Part 3
Shore leave and shipboard life meet in this 1930s album kept by a sailor of the China Station, from rickshaw rides through a treaty port and a locomotive at a Chinese platform to guitar playing among the anchor chain. The photographs capture both the routines and the recreations of the interwar Asiatic Fleet.
